Founded in 2007, the OIA SWG is a group of hundreds of outdoor industry brands, retailers, suppliers, and other stakeholders working together pre-competitively to reduce the impacts of their shared global supply chains and to lead the movement toward sustainable business practices as “business as usual” within the outdoor and broader apparel industries.
